Just to know - NPD's Tomorrow, right?



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Great, BoTW is over 600 k now in Japan

Indeed. Seems like it is a success worldwide.

Its 5mil shipped+digital WW by end of june. With last quarter and holiday quarter by years end itll be no lower than 7mil. Im thinking (optimistically) it will be 8.5mil (its switch gta5 in NoA)

Thanks! I just thought there was a japan specific one as well. I'd like to see how BotW is doing compared to TP in the same timeframe.

BotW is winning comfortably. TP (Wii only) legged it out to a good 600k units lifetime. BotW (Switch only) has reached 600k LTD this week (physical only) and it's not close to being finished.

Thanks! So BoTW has comfortably won that race. Do we have weekly numbers for OOT as well? It's the bestselling Zelda in japan if I recall correctly.

Hey ARMS is back from the dead! Also Super Famicom Mini sold like 300k. Also Nintendo has like 70% in Japan. I do not think we have seen that happen weekly since 2006.

368k more accurate.

    Media Create exists only since 2000, I think. The Japanese sales archive at garaph.info (sadly it hasn't been updated since early 2013) suggests that Famitsu didn't publish software sales prior to the PS2, so there's only weekly hardware without any software before the year 2000.

    OoT is the third-best selling Zelda game in Japan with lifetime sales of 1.45m, according to VGC. Not sure if Famitsu ever released lifetime figures for older games or if this is merely an estimate by VGC, based on worldwide shipment data that was provided by Nintendo.

    Media Create have been covering the Japanese market for over 20 years. While they started tracking back in 1994, you're not going to find much public data from before 2000.

    Famitsu have been publishing weekly sales for over 30 years. The figures from 1986-1995 are simply raw numbers extrapolated with a fixed multiplier, so the accuracy is going to be questionable. Their coverage rate increased significantly after 1996, allowing them to give more precise estimates.
    Sales data from 1996 onwards can be found on online archives. Figures preceding 1996 can be found in issues of their weekly magazine.

    Some huge hardware drops this week but overall still not a bad week for PS4!




    Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
    Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
    Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
    Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

    Do you have a link to such an online archive? And more precisely, Ocarina of Time sales data?
